CLAP, new virtual instrument and effect plugin interface proposal

by Alexandre Bique

Hi, I worked on a new plugin interface, it is not yet finished and set in stone, but ready enough to gather initial feedback and advice. The specification is hosted on github: https://github.com/free-audio/clap and is available under the MIT license. There is a generated specification document at: http://free-audio.github.io/clap/ I hope that you'll find it interesting and give it a chance. Thanks. Regards, -- Alexandre Bique

MIDA 0.3.0

by Mark Karpov

I would like to announce MIDA, version 0.3.0. Short description: MIDA is a minimalistic language for algorithmic generation of MIDI files. MIDA is not interactive in sense that you cannot control result of its activity in real time, it is intended for producers and should be used with a DAW. MIDA can help you create variative elements in your music in a very simple way. Since MIDI can control a lot of different instruments, power of MIDA is truly great. Main reason for MIDA development is to create software tool that can be used in such a way that does not change established workflow, so people could use familiar plugins and software instruments. Unlike many programs in field of algorithmic composition, MIDA does not aim creating complex or peculiar algorithms, because complexity of such systems rarely translates into emotional impact directly. Instead, MIDA gives you simple and effective tool to vary parameters of MIDI events. MIDA does not have GUI, because it doesn't need one. It can work as REPL (interactive mode) or as translator from source to MIDI files (batch mode). MIDA repository is here: https://github.com/mrkkrp/mida Documentation online: http://mrkkrp.github.io/mida/ Although MIDA is created on GNU/Linux and for GNU/Linux, it can be compiled on many platforms (but only Windows version is tested). MIDA is licensed under GNU GPL version 3, it's free software. Regards, -- Mark Karpov

Yoshimi V 1.3.0

by Will Godfrey

There it is, all shiny and bright :) http://sourceforge.net/projects/yoshimi We have the usual crop of optimisations and (fewer) bugfixes. There are further improvements to the GUI, including significant layout changes. The most involved change has been the introduction of LV2 support - as our most intrepid friends will know :) This has been extensively tested on four completely different LV2 hosts, along with detailed tests of Yoshimi in stand-alone mode to ensure there are no regressions. Supported features: 1. Sample-accurate midi timing. 2. State save/restore support via LV2_State_Interface. 3. Working UI support via LV2_External_UI_Widget. 4. Programs interface support via LV2_Programs_Interface. Planned features: 1. Multi channel audio output. Now only 'outl' and 'outr' are routed to lv2 plugin instance. 2. Controls automation support. This will be a part of a common controls interface. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Rivendell v2.10.2

by Frederick Gleason

On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of Rivendell v2.10.2. Rivendell is a full-featured radio automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast environments. It is available under the GNU General Public License. From the NEWS file: Changes: RDImport Enhancements. Added '--clear-datetimes' and '--clear-daypart-times' options to rdimport(1). ELR Data. Added a column to allow ELR data to be seen when editing logs in RDLogEdit. HPI Fixes. Fixed a bug that caused ASI cards with only AES3 ports to fail to detect those ports. Various other bug fixes. See the ChangeLog for details. Database Update: This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 242, and will automatically upgrade any earlier versions. To see the current schema version prior to upgrade, see RDAdmin->SystemInfo. As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after upgrading to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to be applied. *** snip snip *** Downloads, screenshots and further information can be found at http://www.rivendellaudio.org/.

Qtractor 0.6.4 - The Baryon Throne beta release!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Aw, snap! Wait, there's no big deal (nor chromium's) cosmic (mis)alignment being announced here now. Rest calm. Sorry to delude some of you :) But, there's one (notable) leap on this tiny side and part of the universe... (or is it a multiverse? move along...) What I really want to tell is all about this happening and none else's freaking business: Qtractor 0.6.4 (baryon throne beta) is released! Release highlights: * Punch-in/out over loop-recording/take modes (NEW) * Latch/momentary MIDI Controllers toggle mode (NEW) * JACK client/port pretty-name (metadata) support (NEW) * Custom style and color themes (NEW) * Mixer strip multi-row layout (NEW) * Muted audio tracks monitoring on playback (FIX) * Clip fade-in/out resize on time-stretch (FIX) As for the clueless (as if there's any): Qtractor is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt4 framework. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio. Well, although this being yet another milestone--if one may call it that way--it also makes it official (yes, deeply engraved in stone) and definitive as a migration to Git can be, as for source-code control and management (it's a dirty job I know, but someone has to do it, right?). Nevermind. It's done. Meanwhile, please, don't ever hesitate to ask whether any of the above does affect you some way or another. Or maybe anything else, yay? Indeed, the puzzled you feel, the better :) Website: http://qtractor.sourceforge.net Project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtractor Downloads: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtractor/files - source tarball: http://download.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.6.4.tar.gz - source package (openSUSE 13.2): http://download.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.6.4-14.rncbc.suse132.sr… - binary packages (openSUSE 13.2): http://download.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.6.4-14.rncbc.suse132.i5… http://download.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.6.4-14.rncbc.suse132.x8… - quick start guide & user manual (see also: the wiki): http://download.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.5.x-user-manual.pdf - wiki (help wanted!): http://sourceforge.net/p/qtractor/wiki/ Weblog (upstream support): http://www.rncbc.org License: Qtractor is free, open-source software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later. Change-log: - Fixed some old loop-recording clip drawing glitches. - Current assigned track/channel instrument definition names for MIDI controllers, note keys, RPN and NRPN, are now in effect on the MIDI clip editor drop-down lists, whether available. - Clip/Take/Range... input dialog values are now properly sanitized as long to prevent invalid take/folding ranges. - Audio capture/export file type default now set to "wav". - Extending punch-in/out over loop-recording/takes modes. - Make audio tracks monitoring always flow while playback is rolling, independently of their mute/solo state. - Fixed undo/redo conversion of audio clip offsets under (automatic) time-stretching eg. due on tempo changes. (ticket by Holger Marzen, thanks). - Latch/momentary MIDI Controllers toggle mode introduced (a request by AutoStatic aka. Jeremy Jongepier, thanks). - JACK client/port pretty-name (metadata) support is being seamlessly introduced. (EXPERIMENTAL) - Audio frame/MIDI time drift correction is now an option on View/Options.../MIDI/Playback/Enable MIDI queue time drift correction. - Transport auto-backward feature now honoring last position playback was started. - Introducing brand new application user preferences on View/Options.../Display/Options/Custom style and color themes (eg. "KXStudio", by Filipe Coelho aka. falkTX). - Mixer widget gets automatic multi-row strip layout. - Clip fade-in/out now follows time-stretch resizing, via shift/ctrl+click and drag one of its edges. - Fixed a typo causing FTBFS when VST plug-in support is explicitly disabled (./configure --disable-vst). See also: http://www.rncbc.org/drupal/node/834 Enjoy && have plenty of fun. -- rncbc aka. Rui Nuno Capela
